Blocking is the process of applying water to a knit or crochet piece of fabric, shaping the piece and then letting the fabric dry. This is the final step to any knit or crochet project. Blocking is done for a few reasons:
• The piece looks more professional because stitches even out.
• The piece matches the size stated in the pattern.
• The edges straighten out, which is beneficial for seaming.
• For lace, the fabric goes from a lumpy blob of yarn to a piece of fabric with a lot of drape and the stitches are clearly seen.
• For some yarn, blocking makes the fibers softer.
